Your OnMetal server can connect to a Cloud Block Storage volume.

Connecting an OnMetal server to a Cloud Block Storage volume is useful
if you need more than 32 GB of storage but do not have a requirement for
the fast I/O normally provided by an OnMetal server. Using an OnMetal
server with Cloud Block Storage is particularly useful for OnMetal
Compute and Memory v1 flavors.

Use the following procedure to attach a volume to your OnMetal
server via the Cloud Control Panel. The procedure assumes
that the server instance already exists.

Create a new volume

If you want to create a new volume, the following steps will guide you.
If you have already created a volume, go to the “Attach a volume” section.
